Subject:   tcpdump and dropped packet statistics

What does it mean when you run tcpdump and you see this after hitting
ctrl-C :

5702 packets received by filter
4395 packets dropped by kernel

Is it just some nuance of tcpdump that I shouldn't care about, or is my
system actually dropping network packets (and then I should care) ?

thanks.
